I am always so happy for the Holidays to be over. It seems like they consume my life for several months and I have no time for anything but getting ready for the Holidays. So once they are over my winter months are devoted to getting my house straightened out and spending time with my Klic N Kut. It is my favorite time of the year. :~)

I love Minions. I wanted to make a card with a Minion and did a search for a Minion coloring page. I found this cute little guy and using my KNK Studio did a trace. The easiest way to replicate it for me was vinyl. There are a lot of tiny pieces in the suit and gluing them on piece by piece would be a mess.

I cut the black paper for the base of the Minion. I then lowered the force to 46 and cut the vinyl. Because the gray part has so many little pieces I used the reverse weed method. To do this you cut out your vinyl and I always include a weed box around the design. You then cover the entire cut area with transfer tape. Make sure that you rub the tape so that the tape has a firm grip on the vinyl. Peel of the entire vinyl section using the tape, flip over, and start weeding any vinyl that you do not want to appear on the card. Once weeded apply it to the minion paper body.

I then inserted a childs Crayola Washable Marker into the tool holder and changed the settings from drag knife to pen. You find this under CUT/PLOTTING DEFAULT. Make sure you click apply when you have selected pen. It also helps to change it back to drag knife when you are done or you will wonder what you did to screw up your machine. :~)

It is fun to experiment to see what types of pens and markers fit into the tool holder and write nicely. The font I chose was Hello Ellie. I chose it because it was a very thin font.
